Interview: Emma Hodge
Vol. 43 - p39 "My mother, Elvira Keifer, when about eighteen
years old, came to this Indian country with a colony under Levi
Kemp from Mississippi. She said they were driven like cattle
coming over and treated very badly. They were two months on the
way and many died. She often told me of a roaring that they could
hear under the earth all the way over. They landed at Ft. Washita."
